Holy Cow....95 cases of Biobest drinkable yogurt for FREE!

[Jody22002]

Today was awesome.

I had to get up early and drive my H to work this morning so that I could keep the car. Weds are Double Coupon Day at CO-OP(Brandon, MB) and I always check it out. I intended to come home first so I didn't have a whole lot of cash on me (25 loonies in my change purse) and no coupon binder. Just the coupons in my purse that I always carry with me. I had to drive right by so I thought I might as well stop and see what I could get. I ended up getting 124.86 of groceries for 24.49(phew that was close). Including:

6 Dole Fruit n Crisp
3 Scotties Tissues
3 Axe Spray
3 Fruit by the foot
3 Cars Fruit Snacks
15 Heinz Beans
3 Betty Crocker Potatoes
3 Mushroom Soup
3 Buddig Turkey
3 L'Oreal Hair Expertise
3 Alberto Gel
3 Special K Honey n Oats(all 3 have 5.00 Skinny Cow)
3 Glade thingies(drawing a blank right now. The ones from the new insert with the 2.00 off coupon. Only paid .29 each)
3 Bisquick Shake n Pour
3 Betty Crocker Cake Mixes
3 Lipton Tea

Edited to add:

Just looked at my receipts and I forgot to put in 3 Palmolive Dish Soap and 3 Crest For me Toothpaste. And the Glade things are Glade Decor Scents!


But, I was looking through the yogurt and I spotted the 8 packs of Astro Bio Best 8x90grams Probiotic Yogurts for a 1.00 and a lot of them too. The expiry date is Aug 16. I ran home to count up how many 1.00 coupons I had(didn't even need to double it) and phoned the store to ask if they would let me use 95 coupons at once(usually, you can only use three like coupons). I explained that I wanted to donate them. They said yes so transaction #2:

95 cases of yogurt 95x1.00-95x1.00=free!!!!

And then I spotted a whole freezer full off MM frozen juices that said .50 each. They were somewhat sticky and that's why they were .50.

25 MM frozen juices=10.00(used B4G1 free coupon!

So for 760 bottles of yogurt and 25 juice, it was 10.00!! Dropped the whole pile off to a group that feeds those in need. That's a lot of yogurt!!

There was still a lot of cases left and I cut the coupons off all 95 boxes so close to closing time tonight, I am going back to get as many as I can. They feed about 1500 people a day so there will be no problem with using them before the expiry dates!!

That's a great brag!!! WTG!!!
Good math skills for 25 loonies that's a lot of groceries!!!
I wish more stores (especially in AB) would do double coupon days.

It wasn't good math skills because I didn't leave myself enough for a Timmy's...lol. I had to go home and get more money!

I didn't grab any yogurt for ourselves. Does anyone know if you can freeze them? It would be great for lunches for my kids!

Never tried freezing that brand but we freeze Yops and the Dannon kids drinkable yogurts all the time for lunches .. that way they are still cold when the boys eat them and they defrost in time for lunch. Works great - we always just tell the boys to shake them up before they drink them.

I would assume youd be able to freeze these too!

What a great find and exceptional shopping experience that was! Where did you get the $1 coupons for the Biobest from?

[Jody22002]

There is a Bio Best Booklet with three different 1.00 off coupons and then when you buy them, there is also a 1.00 off coupon on the box.

I have 2 different $1 tear pad ones if anyone is interested. I picked them up a while back on one of my road tours back home.
